A new year at Hogwarts had started; Voldemort had been betrayed by his comrades and in his time of weakness Harry killed him, thus completing the prophecy. The drama of the dark lord's demise having settled down, Harry had nothing regarding it to worry about. Hermione sat to one side of him and Ron to the other. The three sat in the Gryffindor common room, chatting about the events of the year passed.
Rumour had spread that three new students were joining Gryffindor.

"I hear they're all martial arts experts, national champions, they say." Ron said.

"Don't be foolish Ronald, its just rumor! I sincerely doubt if they even exist!" Hermione replied with a smug laugh.

"I don't know, I've heard a lot for it to be a rumor." Harry added, thoughtfully

"Well from what I hear, two of them are Japanese, twins in fact" she reflected "both boys I'm afraid Ronald" she added quickly, smirking at the fading smile on Ron's face "the other is Irish, they're best friends apparently. It's possible of course, though a bit far fetched."

"Ah but being Japanese does suit them being martial arts experts!" Ron stated triumphantly.

"Don't be so stereotypical." She replied.

What promised to be an engaging and gripping argument was interrupted by the appearance of Professor McGonagall in the common rooms.

"Students, I have some people for you to meet." She said, ushering three figures into the room.

Ron looked at Hermione with a look of utter glee.

"Allow me to introduce Coa and Lu from Japan and Ryan from Ireland" said the teacher, "They will be joining us here in Gryffindor, now boys I'm sure Mr. Weasley here will be more than happy to show you to your sleeping quarters" she motioned to Ron and with that she left.

Ron showed the new-comers to three beds close to his and Harry's.

As they unpacked Ron got a good look at them. Ryan was close enough to Ron's height, with brown hair, while the twins were taller with long sleek black hair.

"Hey lads, I heard a rumor" said Ron "I was wondering if it's true."

"You shouldn't listen to rumors, but go on." Said Ryan, nodding his head in Ron's direction, to show that he had his attention.

"Well I heard that ye know martial arts, is that true?" asked Ron.

"We know a lot of things, martial arts being one of them." Replied Ryan.

"I also heard that you're all national champions." He ventured.

"Again true, I'm the best in Ireland, Lu ranks top in Japan and Coa ranks second." Ryan confirmed.

"But please don't tell anyone," Lu added, "we don't want to draw any attention, avoiding attention is half the reason we came here, but it looks like our feats have followed us here to England." he sighed.

"I won't tell anyone. Hey being from different parts of the world, how are ye managing to stay friends?" asked Ron.

"Msn." Said Coa.

"Oh. What's that?" asked Ron, unaware of the muggle form of communication.

"Muggle method of instantly transporting messages quickly and effectively." Replied Coa.

"Okay thanks." Said Ron before leaving.

Hermione was chatting to Harry when Ron returned.

"Tell me Hermione, do you ever get tired of being wrong?" asked Ron.

"What?" she asked.

"The rumours are all true! But keep it quiet will you." Said Ron before sitting down.

First class of the year was charms and Flitwick was going over old spells for the class and was currently going over the tarantellegro charm. Harry and Ron were whispering to one another at the back of the classroom. Hermione having failed desperately in her attempts to hear the lesson, decided to join in.

Ron scanned the familiar heads of his classmates. He spotted the three new kids toward the front taking notes diligently.

"Not the most lively lot are they?" asked Ron.

"Who?" asked Harry.

"Them, you know, new three." Said Ron, nodding towards the three bowed heads.

Harry watched them for a moment before replying, "Maybe your right but I think …" but Ron never found out what he thought because just then Harry was interrupted by a third party.
"Mister Potter" said Flitwick, "As you and Mister Weasley have decided that my lesson is of no further use to you, am I to assume that you have mastered the tarrantellegro charm?"

Harry looked uncertainly at the wand in his hand before making his desperate attempt. Neville's eyebrows raised as if he had been asked to do the spell.

"Since Mr. Potter wasn't listening and obviously has no idea what I am talking about I might ask another student to attempt the charm?" asked Flitwick, everyone kept there heads low as they remember little after the summer off.

"What about one of our new three." Flitwick said standing over them.

As Ryan and Coa clearly had no idea Lu decided to perform the charm on his brother who burst into a dance. This earned a laugh from the rest of the class and Flitwick quickly cast a counter spell to save the boy from further embarrassment.

"We do not cast the charms on one another in this class, you would do well to remember that." Said Flitwick. Coa gave a little nod

"Also I would like to remind students that the dueling club is being set up again and there is a meeting on tonight." Finished Flitwick. With that the class went to Transfiguration.

Nothing of interest happened for the rest of the day until they were at the dueling club.
Coa decided to challenge his brother, to teach him a lesson after the events in charms.

"Harry look, Lu and Coa are going at it. Maybe they'll use martial arts." Said Ron with excitement oozing from his words.

The two gave a bow and then Coa instantly went on the offensive when he shouted.

"Expelliarmus!" with his wand pointed to his brothers but the charm didn't wasn't successful as Lu gave a great leap away from his brother before making an assault himself.

"Expelliarmus" the two shouted. The two wands went flying off somewhere else, in the end the landed quite close to one another. The two brothers looked to one another for a moment before running to the wands.

McGonagall kept a close eye on the two, knowing their hand to hand capabilities. Lu got to the wands first and kicked them into the air. He grabbed at one of them but it was his brothers, he threw it into the air and tried to grab his own but Coa had slapped it away. Most of the room was watching the brothers who were darting around the room making for their wands. Lu got his first and spotted his brother going for his own wand.

"Accio!" shouted Lu and the wand came flying to his hand. He shook it tauntingly at his brother who came running at him.

"Tarantallegra!" shouted Lu casting the spell at his brother who was getting closer. Coa gave a flip and avoided the spell, before he landed from his flip he dropkicked his brother who fell back and slammed into the wall.

Coa grabbed at his wand and the two pulled at it for some time before Coa was able to flip his brother over and take it. He then jumped back a few times to make space.

"Stupefy!" shouted Coa. His brother rolled around to avoid the spell then leapt to his feet and started running around the room avoiding the different spells that was being continuously cast at him. Eventually one hit him in the chest and his robes were turned into a beautiful silk dress.

"Densaugio!" shouted Lu. Coa, expecting the response gave a slight twist and bend of his hips to avoid the spell in a quite impressive manner that earned an applause from various students.

Lu didn't give up, he cast it again and hit his brother who was suddenly wearing his a clown outfit.

They both frowned before shouting,

"Levicorpus!" They both hit dead centre and the two were suddenly floating upside down in mid-air.

"I think we should end this duel. It's getting a bit personal." Prof. McGonagall said.

The two fell to the floor and shook and hands. They had a laugh a moment later as if nothing had happened.
